Will Anthropic bring back the thinking-chain feature?
A graduate student using Claude AI for its reasoning feature, which displayed the AI's thought process to help improve prompting, has noticed this feature is now absent. They are inquiring whether Anthropic plans to reinstate this "thinking-chain" feature or if its removal is permanent.

Pretty much the title. I am a graduate student and I use AI sparingly so I never really know what is going on with updates, etc. I use Claude because of the feature that shows it's reasoning so I can improve my prompting and have noticed that it is now gone. I have seen some fuss about this change on this forum and so I am wondering if anyone knows if Anthropic intends to bring this feature back or if its a permanent change? If so, does anyone know of any other companies that have a similar feature?
